ViennaVA250 Tree: In recognition of the 250th anniversary of the United States, Vienna residents are encouraged to plant a “Vienna250 Tree” at their homes as a lasting tribute to our country and a gift to future generations.
The Vienna250 and Tree Advocacy Committees will give away 250 three-gallon native shade trees to town residents on Saturday, November 7 from 8am to Noon at the former Annex property on Center Street South, across from Waters Field. You must sign up ahead of time to order a tree at https://get.arborday.org/Vienna250. Limit one per household.
The trees will be one of the following native species:
- • Black Tupelo/Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica)
- • Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor)
- • Southern Red Oak (Quercus falcata)
- • Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis)
- • Tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera)
The trees will be protected from hungry deer with an anti-deer cage. Each tree will be registered and labeled as an official Vienna250 Tree.
